Final rendering of my oil painting, War Bride. Noticed I changed the name. After finishing the painting I just realized the painting was more about the woman than anything else.

War News: posting #4
Partial colors of clothes on the three people; what I am looking is to make sure the 3 colors are complimentary....I used my color wheel for this one and formed a color triad.

War News: posting #2
In this posting, I have largely completed the background of the painting. In this case, I really wanted the background to not draw a lot of attention, except for the radio. Till next time!

New Project: War News
My new painting is commencing after a 2-month hiatus. I am excited to return to the canvas! In this painting I will continue my diner theme of the 50's. Like last time, I will try to post different stages as the painting progresses. After the completion of the painting, I will be selling the painting on Ebay for $99.00. This painting will be done on oil, using a massonite board for my canvas. The size of the painting is 20'' by 16''.
At this point, you can see the composition of the painting and noticed that I have covered the painting with a thin layer of iron oxide.

Last Entry
Here it is, the final posting of my painting "Last Lunch with Grandpa". It was a real challenge, taking me anywhere between 30-40 hours to paint. I had a lot of different elements including some landscaping (outside window), human figure, and basically a still life element (foreground table). In addition, there were many precision elements including numerous straight lines, edges and angles. All in all I am pretty satisfied with the end product and it was very fun to paint. Notice that I really wanted to give it a 50's diner feel and even had numerous cigarette butts, and matches on the floor. Of course, one would not see this type of diner setting today, but this is how diners were back then. This painting will be available to be purchased for $199.
